Colorado River

Glen Canyon was flooded to create Lake Powell in the 1960s. This was part of the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, which is located near Page, Arizona.

Birds and animals dying, boats littering the landscape, and the salt in the water has risen to a toxic level.

One of the world's largest reservoirs that holds the Colorado River is Lake Mead. It is located on the Arizona-Nevada border, created by the Hoover Dam, and is a crucial water source for Southwestern states like Arizona, Nevada, and California.

No, the Colorado River and Mississippi River are in two different watersheds.

The different kinds of pollution are Chemical and Radioactive hazards. They are affecting the Colorado River by its transformation of all the different rivers tranforing 1 by 1.

No, the Colorado River does not drain the interior plains. It primarily flows through the western United States, originating in the Rocky Mountains and draining into the Gulf of California. The river's watershed mainly encompasses areas in the Rocky Mountain region and the arid southwestern United States, rather than the interior plains. The interior plains are primarily drained by rivers such as the Missouri and Mississippi.

Most of the river water is supplied by runoff from high mountain systems. In turn these systems act as a source for tributaries which run into the Colorado River.

about 920 feet and the Canyon trail is about 1.5 miles long

No, it has already passed through the Grand Canyon.

The Colorado River Compact has several purposes: 1) to apportion the use of water in the Colorado River Basin (i.e. the Colorado River and all its tributaries); 2) promote interstate comity; and 3) to secure the ability of the Upper Colorado River Basin to develop at its own pace (without the compact, the more populous Lower Basin would have tried to develop a claim as much water as possible--the compact preserves the ability of the Upper Basin to use water).

Erosion. It coontnues to be carved by the Colorado River.

There are many. Here are a few:

-The Rocky Mountains that include 53 peaks over 14,000 ft.

-The Royal Gorge which is 1250 feet deep and ten miles long near Canon City.

-Red Rocks amphitheater - beautiful red rocks that jut out of the ground in Morrison where they hold concerts due to the acoustics that the formation creates.

-The Garden of the Gods which is more red sandstone formations close to Colorado Springs.

-There are many different natural hot springs.

-The Cave of the Winds which features crystal formations.

-Remnants of the Old West such as Ghost Towns, abandoned mines & cemeteries.

-Cliff Palace which is where the ancient Anasazi Indians once lived in the southwest corner of the state.

-Dinosaur Ridge where you can see dinosaur footprints & other fossils in Morrison, CO.

No. The existence of the Colorado river was first noted in written histories going all the way back to 1539. And actually, the Colorado River started to form the Grand Canyon long before life even existed on Earth.

It provides municipal water, agricultural irrigation and recreation.

About 1,450 miles from the source to the mouth in the Sea of Cortez.

It is similar in length than the Thames but may be slightly longer by a few miles.
